I suppose ou could mount one where the crash bars are supposed to go... but where would the back/bottom be attached.. motor mounts?
Could you put up a photo? I thought you were riding a UJM. We're referring to a windshield /faring like the Maier universal GPZ style faring. It might not work on your bike, if it's a cruiser, but some other style would.
Ride safe...God bless!

I just installed the Viper fairing listed in the JC Whitney catalogue. Heres a Bad Pic:

Once I got it installed It seems to work ok and is really effective on the Hwy. However I still think my bike needs some mods or maybe I just need to lose forty pounds.

I plan to paint the fairing.
The only time I feel any real catharsis is on a MOTORCYCLE!
